Premier League: Arsenal team up with Indosat

Indosat, one of Indonesia's largest telecoms network service providers, has joined English Premier League team Arsenal as their official telec­om­mu­nica­tions partner in Indonesia for the next two years.

Covering the ongoing 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, the deal will see Indosat and its customers recieve a series of benefits and incentives, including exclusive match highlights, club news, player interviews and photographs to be distributed to Indosat's subscribers.

Indosat is owned by Qatar-based telecoms giant Ooredoo, who operate throughout the Middle East and Asia.

Arsenal's chief commercial officer, Vinai Venkatesham, said: “Arsenal has a huge following in Indonesia and following our 2013 pre-season tour, which saw the team travel to Jakarta, the fan base has grown signi­fic­antly.

“More Indonesian fans follow Arsenal on Facebook than in any other country and we are delighted that our commitment to, and popularity in, Indonesia has been recognised through this agreement."
